cars, improve public transport and encourage the use of bicycles to control traffic congestion(拥挤) during the 2008 olympics, experts from foreign countries advised beijing on friday. professor nigel wilson, of the civil and environmental engineering department of massachusetts institute of technology, said he was supportive to the limiting of private cars during the olympic games, saying that in foreign countries, the method is also adopted during big events, but he was unsure about the approach. the government planned to keep an average of more than one million cars off the roads to improve traffic flow during the olympics, said liu xiaoming, deputy director of the beijing traffic committee, at the china planning network first urban transportation congress. sharing wilsons view, dr. yoshitsugu hayashi, dean of the graduate school of environmental studies of nagoya university, believed the reduction in car use should be achieved not by banning, but through incentives. drivers who dont use their private cars could be given points, he said, and the points could be exchanged for goods from online shopping. wetzel stressed limiting the use of company cars. governmental officials should also be encouraged to use public transportation or ride bicycles, he said, adding that he himself is a bicycle-rider in london. matthew martimo, director of traffic engineering with citilabs, said the bicycle was chinas advantage. limiting private cars is an idea worth trying but it is just a temporary solution, he said. the real cause of congestion is high density of people in beijing and many have cars. beijing, with a population of 15 million, is home to more than three million automobiles, and the number is rising by 1,000 a day. professor wilson said the olympic games was a great opportunity for beijing to think about traffic problems and develop transportation, adding that the city had already been making public transport more efficient. beijing has promised to stretch its 114-kilometer city railway to 200 kilometers before the opening of the olympic games. “we are looking forward to borrowing beijings experiences and drawing from its lessons in preparation for the 2012 olympics,” said wetzel.16. the underlined word incentives in paragraph 4 means_. a. something that encourages people to tryb. online shopping c. points could be exchanged for goodsd. award17. it can be seen from the passage that _. a. the government planned to forbid over 1 million cars to run on the roads during the olympics. b. banning private cars is the best way to solve traffic congestion in beijing c. beijing now has 200 kilometers of city railway d. the use of company cars will not be limited18. why did wetzel stress “ he himself is a bicycle-rider in london”? a. to limit the use of company cars. b. to encourage governmental officials to use public transportation or ride bicycles. c. to show that riding bicycles is good for health. d. to show that he loves riding bicycles.19.

beijing and the large number of cars. d. public transport in beijing is not efficient.20. the purpose of the passage is _. a. to limit the use of private cars, improve public transport b. to encourage

water levels will threaten coastal towns along florida within several decades. these are just a few examples of the serious consequences of climate change supported by a new analysis in nature. in the past three decades, average global temperatures have risen about 1 degree fahrenheit (0.6 degree celsius) and are projected to jump by about 3 degrees f (1. 7 degrees c) by the end of the century, says study lead author cynthia rosenzweig, who heads the climate impacts group at nasas goddard institute for space studies at columbia university in new york city. weve already seen that a relatively low amount of wanning, she says, can result in a broad range of changes. the unnatural warming caused by man-made greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide produced by cars and coal-powered plants, brings trouble for entire ecosystems. in north america alone, scientists have identified 89 species of plants, such as the american holly that have flowered earlier in the spring. in spain, apple trees bloom 35 days ahead of schedule in response to the higher temperatures. other wildlife, like the insects that use certain plants for food and the birds that feed on the insects, must then move forward their seasonal stirrings (萌动) and mating patterns to survive. to try to follow this time shift, some birds such as robins, the classic symbol of winters thaw(解冻时期) , are returning to colorado from their migrations (迁徙) some two weeks earlier than in years past. all these changes can throw a food chain in disorder. some bird species that arrive before the insects reappear may starve to death. around the world, plants and animals are waking up to an earlier alarm clock than they used to, says terry root, a biologist from stanford university. 1. what does the first paragraph mainly present to the readers?a. the survival of polar bears in the arctic.b. the terrible situation for the coastal town along florida.c. a brief description of what a warming world will look like.d. a new analysis of climate change in nature. 答案解析：答案为c。本题为段落大意题。细读第一段，先描述气候变化的几个严重后果的例子，最后进行概括总结，故答案为c。a，b选项都是后果之一，d选项不是第一段的重点。注意把握最后一句 “these are just a few examples of the serious consequences of”, 答案就不难选择。2. according to the passage, what has happened to plants as a result of warming climate?a. many species of plants have died out. b. some flowers have appeared ahead of time.c. apple trees have produced less fruit. d. plants have provided no food to birds.答案解析：答案为b。本题为细节推理题。由第三段 “in north america alone, scientists have identified 89 species of plants, such as the american holly that have flowered earlier in the spring. in spain, apple trees bloom 35 days ahead of schedule.”可知，花卉提前开放。故答案为b。3. what can be learnt about robins from the passage?a. they are good at telling the direction.b. they can predict the change of weather.c. they usually come back when spring comes. d. they have to move away for cool weather.答案解析：答案为c。本题为细节推理题。由倒数第二段 “to try to follow this time shift, some birds such as robins, the classic symbol of winters thaw, are returning to colorado from their migrations some two weeks earlier than in years past.” 可知，robin鸟是冬天解冻时期的象征，比往年要早两周回到colorado，故可以推断，这些鸟在春天天气暖和后才回来，由于全球气温升高，他们可以早点回到colorado。故答案为c。4what does the passage mainly tell us?a. man-made warming changes natures clock.b. global warming is unavoidable.c. both plants and animals will change. d. people need to adapt to climate change.答案解析：答案为a。本题为文章主旨大意题。结合全文内容，人类活动导致全球气温升高，造成了生态系统中动植物生物钟的紊乱，最后一段 “around the world, plants and animals are waking up to an earlier alarm clock than they used to,”再次点题。故答案为a。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的a.b.c和d项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。athe british national health service (nhs) was set up in 1948 and was designed to provide equal basic health care, free of charge, for everybody in the country. before this time health care had to be paid for by individuals.nowadays central government is directly responsible for the nhs although it is administered by local health authorities. about 83 percent of the cost of the health service is paid for by general taxation and the rest is met from the national insurance contributions paid by those in work. there are charges for prescription and dental care but many people, such as children, pregnant women, pensioners, and those on income support, are exempt from payment.most people are registered with a local doctor (a gp, or general practitioner) who is increasingly likely to be part of a health centre which serves the community. as the population of britain gets older, the hospital service now treats more patients than before, although patients spend less time in hospital. nhs hospitals many of which were built in the nineteenth century provide nearly half a million beds and have over 480, 000 medical staff. the nhs is the biggest employer in europe although britain actually spends less per person on health care than most of her european neighbours.during the 1980s there was considerable restructuring of the health service with an increased emphasis on managerial efficiency and the privatization of some services (for example, cleaning). at the end of the 1980s the government introduced proposals for further reform of the nhs, including allowing some hospitals to be self-governing, and encouraging gps to compete for patients. patients would be able to choose and change their family doctor more easily and gps would have more financial responsibility. the political questions continue of how much money should be provided to support the nhs and where it should come from.1 we can know from the first paragraph that _.a. the original aim of the nhs was to provide equal basic health care for everybodyb. people didnt have to pay for health care since the nhs was set upc. p
